Not labelable..

You can’t really put a label on me.. I am armed with a great anti-label weapon.

The 3:rd stage of life..

I actually think that this summons it up qiute niceley..

I am going to try!!

Oh, I already did…

To tattoo.. For real!

I have been talking about trying to make real tattoos for at least 15 years now, and I finally got to it.. Have a friend that have a studio and lots of machines close by, so I thought “What the hell, I´m unemployed and have some spare time..”

Got into it a bit, and man.. This was fun!!

Here is my absolute first attempt on real skin..

The original motife:

This is a week later, when the scabs have fallen off..

What do you think? Should I give it another go? Who´s willing to come forward and say “Do one on me!”

Somewhat scientific tattoos..

I was surfing the web, when I found this site..

I really liked some of the tattoos, and I am actually thinking of having a somewhat scientific one myself.

The one below, would be quite right for me, I think. It´s showing the structure of a Humulone molecule. Humulone is one of the bitters in the hop, an ingridience in beer.

The idiot way..

I know that I already have a blog for reptiles, but I am so mad at myself so I have to post it here too..

Ok.. Here´s what NOT to do..

I keep a trio ( 2.1 ) of Zamenis situla, Leopardsnake, and the female is quite big. They are housed together, fed together ( under survelliance, of course.. ) and after a meal I give the terrarium a good shower to minimize the scent from food and to “help” them get out of feedingmoode. The trio is working perfect!! So far, so good..

Now, I had hopes last year on getting some eggs and later on juveniles from them, but nothing happened. It the terrarium I have a humidity-box made of a 3 litres plasticbox..

3 litres Bra Plast-box.

This box have a hole cut in the lid, and is covered in a brown tape of the kind that one can use to seal a package with, just to create a dark place for shedding snakes to feel safe in. About 1 litre of damp Sphagnum sp. moss was added in it too.

I was looking in that box every now ant then, especially around the time that I thought she would to lay her eggs.. The placing of the box have been optimal for the snakes, but not for me as it was placed in the rear of the terrarium. But no eggs.. After a while I looked it the box more seldom, then I did in the beginning of the season..

Anyway.. Yesterday evening, when I was to clean the terrarium out, to re-decorate it for them for this season, I flipped the old content out, and guess what!! There they where.! The eggs… 10 good looking eggs, or at least what was left of 10 good eggs..

Lesson learned.. The hard way..

You can surley imagine all the “good” words I called myself.. I WILL place AND check that box much better this year…

It´s not the loss om a quite good income (roughly 950 Euros, or so..) that pisses me of the most, is the fact that I was careless.
